Best miniseries about war
06/16/2009
By Cal1010

|
What's great about it: writing, dialogue, action scenes and character development
What's not so great: some long boring scenes but it is 10 hours long so that's expected
"As far as any WWII movie or TV show is concerned, this is the best one ever made. It's 10 hours so there is much more entertainment than a 2 hour movie and it's done by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg so you know it's great quality. Buy this box set."

What's great about it: Everything
"I never get tired of watching this. It is the greatest WWII series I have seen. You feel like your one of Easy Co. As you watch you will find yourself feeling like you are there through it all.
Having the origional members of Easy talking about the things they went through was the best idea."

This is a very well put together set.

Highly recommended for WWII history buffs."

Docudrama at its best
09/20/2008
By Dexter999
|
"This series is a must see for everyone, especially those that have seen Saving Private Ryan. Although I like the movie it follows a fictional storyline and sacrifices reality for Hollywood in several parts.
This series does none of that. It is based off of the book written by the Ambrose, the eminent historian. Best of all it gives many interviews from the actual stories that this is based upon. Looking at the Real person and then seeing the actors portraying them on the screen was almost scary. You would swear that each actor is the grandson of the person they are playing.
Follow the story of Easy Company from basic until the end of the European campaign, you won't regret it."

Best of HBO
09/18/2008
By LADYPANDA
from PHOENIX, AZ

What's great about it: Great book - Extra Great Miniseries
What's not so great: Graphic violence - Concentration Camp scenes scary
"Band of Brothers is one of the best mini-series HBO has put on television. The cinematography, and special effects puts in the top echelon of anything I have ever seen on screen. It puts you right into the war, both highs and lows of military life, and as much as I liked "Saving Private Ryan" I think that the story of the unit in Band of Brothers is a more important true-life tale to tell. You get to know the men and their relationships with each other. Everyone who likes World War II stories should at least see this one time through. I've seen it more than once and still have the DVD set in my collection."

Outstanding series & DVD set
09/15/2008
By Stiney
from New England

What's great about it: Great acting and very well done effects
What's not so great: n/a
"I received this as a gift and was so excited to view it. As a big fan of both movies and documentaries of World War II I have seen many if not all of the films and a lot of tv specials on the war. This series/DVD really gives you the best of everything. While it views like a movie the pre-episode commentaries from the actual soldiers and the dialog really takes you to the real horrors and trials that these soldiers went through during the war.
The only thing that could have made the movie more realistic is somehow adding the smells to go along with the sights and sounds.
Everything gets 5 stars and most of the acting is excellent given that it is predominantly done by people you've never seen before. The acting was close to a 5 and would have been a 4.5 had it allowed.
If you are even mildly curious about the war you should invest in this set. I think it's a must-own for any cinema buff and a great reminder of the true nature of the sheer volume of people involved on each side. Let's all hope there is never a global conflict to match that one."

WWII comes alive!
09/13/2008
By gluchnurse
from Downingtown, PA
|
What's great about it: Engaging characters, absorbing plot
What's not so great: Takes a long time to watch it all,and must be done in order
"Incredible! Doesn't precisely follow the book, but faithful enough to satisfy most sticklers! Amazing insight into the bond that forms between men in war who in civilian life would never engage-and the mark they forever leave on each other-and that war leaves on them.
Highly recommended for high school kids to make war real for them-so they can never again think of it as just a video game..."

What's great about it: writing and WWII combat
What's not so great: Wish there could have been more!
"The only drawback with Band of Brothers is that it's only 10 episodes...because it leaves you wanting more after watching it. No matter how many times I've seen it I can still sit down and enjoy all of the episodes. The story of the men of Easy Company who fought together in Europe during WWII is one that everyone should experience."

Best of the Best War Movies
07/22/2008
By TinaMK
from Tempe, AZ
|
What's great about it: excellent cast and storyline
What's not so great: realistic depiction of war so there is a lot of violence
"Love the mixture of real interviews and "reinactments" from these men's point of view. I think it did a great job of showing the hardships of war and the moral conflicts that these men went through. I was cheering for them to make it through, and cried when any of them died. Plenty of action for you blood and guts guys - and enough suspense to keep me on the edge of my seat and dying to see the next episode. To have the collection is a must for any WW2 buff."
